Microbial seed treatments are organisms or compounds derived from natural sources that are applied to seeds before planting. These treatments typically include beneficial bacteria, fungi, amino acids and other microorganisms, which play a vital role in promoting sustainable agriculture. By enhancing seed health and reducing the need for chemical interventions, it helps lower the environmental footprint of farming practices.
Additionally, it supports the principles of sustainable agriculture by improving crop productivity and quality. They uniquely work in harmony with the natural soil ecosystem, which can provide additional soil health benefits. By investing in microbial seed treatment, growers can optimize their resources and contribute to more resilient and sustainable agricultural systems.
Performance and Benefits
- Improved early plant vigor - Treated seeds show faster germination, taller plants, greener foliage, and more robust early growth compared to untreated controls
- Enhanced root development - Treated seeds create a symbiotic relationship in plant roots, expanding the rhizosphere and improving soil structure
- Yield boosts - Farmer trials report consistent improvements, such as higher bushels per acre in corn and soybeans, reduced lodging, higher grain test weight, and lower moisture at harvest
- Better nutrient uptake - Increase access to minerals (especially phosphorus) and water, leading to greater drought resistance
- Create a Future - Supports biological farming principles
- Support Tillage Practices - Conservation tillage practices are gaining popularity due to their benefits in soil health and erosion control. Seed treatment can enhance the effectiveness of these practices by ensuring that seeds have the best possible start, even in less-disturbed soil conditions
ENDO 25
In independent research trials, ENDO 25 has shown to boost yield in soybeans and in corn. As shown in our trials it has shown to be one of the most diverse seed treatments. Sharing these results to get a better seed treatment to the farmers is our goal. A lot of hard work and dedication went into the creation of this seed treatment and the results show.
ENDO 25 is a dry blend of naturally occurring bacteria and fungi that includes talc and graphite.
- Rate: Use 4-10 oz per 100 lbs of seeds. Consult AES Rep for what will work best on your farm.
- Mixing: Consult your AES representative for mixing instructions that will work best for you.
